Eh Eye Ate Dub Yah ✡︎ :ally:

So I recently used a #sledgehammer where a #scalpel was needed.

I've got an #HP DL80 Gen9 with the iLO license, but without the #FlexibleLOM card... so to access the iLO I have to have an ethernet cable plugged into the first ethernet port.

Problem is, no matter what I tried in #Webmin or #NetworkManager, every reboot would re-enable that port... which would then get a IP via DHCP (even when I'd disabled it in nm...), which would mean #Zabbix would pick it up as a client and add it.. meaning every time a disk got a little "backed up", I'd get two alerts, and this machine has 12 very old SATA drives in it.

Tired of messing with the damned thing, I finally got out the sledgehammer....
....and blacklisted HP's #OUI from the #DHCP server.

No IP, no extra client created in Zabbix, and only the normally-annoying amount of alerts.

I'll #fsck with it for real, later...

Late last night I remembered something from when I was about four years old. My family was camping and there was a little boy my age in the campsite next door. I was playing with him even though I didn't understand him because he spoke French. At one point, he asked me a question, and I said "Oui" because it was the only French word I knew. He got very excited by this and ran off to excitedly talk to his father.

I told my parents what I had done, and they told me I must never answer yes to a question I didn't understand.

Good advice, I think.

I never did find out what the boy had asked me. #yes #oui #memories
